  • I made this dining table with two turned pedestals for the base and breadboard ends on the tabletop. It was a project full of challenges and I'm really proud of the results.

    I am literally doing the same type of project for a client of mine! I’m a woodworker in Washington State and my client wants a trestle table built with the last remaining stock of Walnut that her grandfather rough milled on their farm some 30 odd years ago. The farm has been turned into a housing development so these Walnut boards are all that she has left. I’ve got the material jointed, planed and ready to go......which is why I’m drinking coffee and watching RUclips! I am nervous as hell and genuinely apprehensive about the project but you’ve made me feel a little better. You did a fantastic job man, well done! 👍🏻

    I am glad you were asked to sign it, after all it is a work of art, hopefully this will be passed down to their children, it deserves nothing less. Absolutely beautiful!

    TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP. Amazing job sir. What I enjoyed most was how to you were excited about the little things. The snug fits and the way the wood took stain. I too can agree with these feelings. I also loved how there isn’t a single pocket hole on this piece. Wood working is a true art form. Beautiful work

    Fortunately, I just stumbled upon this vid, and I'm without words to describe my admiration...your skill level is above top shelf which explains the results of the effort ..unfair to compare this table to the myriad of furniture creations logged on RUclips, but suffice to say it is truly a one of a kind heirloom that will awe generations to come...thanks for sharing 4 years ago and forgive me for being so late to the party!

Watching your video has fired me up again, so thank you....

    Outstanding William. I’ve heard all about this table build on the podcast and am now finally able to see what you were talking about. It looks fabulous, especially the book matched top. While I turn spindles I can’t imagine turning those pedestals. Your narration on the build was excellent and the cinematography was superb. Now I know what you were trying to describe in regards to color matching is concerned. Maybe someday I’ll get to that level. Thanks for sharing your work. It was inspiring to watch.

    Best project yet? I think so. Amazing work man. That turning looked massively intimidating but the legs turned out (pun intended) so nice. I got spoiled having a huge pile of air dried Walnut to work through and now I’m out. I need to restock, as kiln dried just doesn’t compare.

    • @wmwalkerco
      @wmwalkerco  6 лет назад +4

      When I got started, I was in love with kiln dried walnut. Then I worked with Air dried Walnut and now kiln dried just looks too brown and muddy to me. Totally spoiled. I did do a barter job once, where I used the clients lumber to make an island top (maybe 3 or 4 hours in the shop?) and they let me take the rest of the air-dried walnut, a few hundred board feet. That was a good trade.

    Looks great! Love the breadboard ends and you did a great job with the pedestal legs. I really like the idea of adding that extra inch on the feet to give it a carved look. If you're REALLY looking for feedback I would add that the bottom half looks so beefy compared the top. You pretty much had to do that because of the limited amount of wood BUT perhaps thinner legs and thinner (but TALLER) feet would have fit the thinner top better?
    Dunno, just thinking out loud. I'm really excited to see its "forever home" too! Keep us updated. You make great projects and great videos too!

  • @bloodsport5112
    @bloodsport5112 5 лет назад

    Mr. Walker, an absolutely stunning table. My favorite wood hands down is black walnut. How lucky those people are getting to look at that table every day. When you were chucking up those pedestals, I was like WHAT!! I was holding my breath with you when you fired up that lathe. Just stunning, congratulations!

  • @markharris5771
    @markharris5771 5 лет назад

    What a brilliant video, everything was excellent and if I could like it three times I would.
    The first time would be for what was evident first, your amazing ability to relay a story. You paint a picture of your emotions, thought patterns and the multitude of pressures you were under and why. You gave us a back story which is very rare on RUclips.
    The second for be how you have the ability to explain quite complex operations that even an ignorant and uninitiated newbie like myself could understand. Einstein said a genius isn’t a man who understands a theory, but one who can explain it. You say what, why and how you are going to do something and you don’t just presume we know.
    My third and final like would be for your amazing, and precise, craftsmanship. You take your skills to the next level up to that of a true artist in his medium. You have talent, skill and a work ethic that very few can match. When the finish went on it was a true "Wow!" moment and I only hope your client watches this video.
    To say this video is excellent is a massive understatement, it’s one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. I have a health condition that means I spend a lot of time in bed watching videos, I'm rarely up after 5.00pm and that means I watch a lot of video, a very lot. I loved every second of it, thank you so much for posting.
